Faith

I have faith in my faith
Our lives are predestined

The hour we defy the gods
the knocks of the time-keeper 
chase us to herald their
vicious victory

Poetic justice plagues us
leaving no hour for 
retrospective relief or
emotional catharsis

Lady of Justice's balance
will blanche out the errant
embodying divine ordainment
with her double edged sword 

I have faith in my faith
Our lives are predestined
